Take a trip to a wonderfully funky time and get into the groove of your music with the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass. The vibe and flair of the 1970s are alive and well in this vintage-meets-performance re-creation, starting with the classic Telecaster-style headstock with period-inspired logo decals. Next, the Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass’s vintage-tinted, C-shaped maple neck joins a lightweight poplar body that exudes comfort and effortless playability. Performance features that bass players here at Sweetwater are quick to bond with include a flatter maple fingerboard with a 9.5-inch radius, narrow-tall frets, a bone nut, and a single wide-range, Seth Lover–inspired humbucking pickup. The Classic Vibe series offers a plethora of vintage-appointed models from Fender’s expansive catalog of legendary instruments, and the Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass offers you a highly obtainable throwback instrument, built to be enjoyed for countless hours of playtime.
Built to get your groove on
The Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass isn’t simply a wall decoration — it plays as great as it looks. To start, the C-shaped neck profile adapts to many hand sizes, offering fast and slick playability along the entire length of the maple fingerboard. The 9.5-inch fingerboard radius has a “best of both worlds” response, equally suitable for staying in the pocket and performing blazingly fast bass solos. The 20 narrow-tall frets feel natural and offer enough fret height for easier playing with a softer, lighter touch. Performance-grade, vintage-style tuners and a hardtail bridge keep your tuning in check during long sets at the gig or practice sessions at home. Lastly, a bone nut is installed to further bolster the harmonic resonance of the Classic Vibe Telecaster Bass, leading to a highly vibrant instrument with added resonance you can feel.
